Swift reports hacking attack

The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication reported a network breach, saying that hackers gained access to the international communications system and managed to send Swift messages using a commercial bank’s valid codes.

In a notice that is set to be published on Friday, Swift said that third-party forensic experts had discovered sophisticated malware used by the hackers, which exploited the customer’s systems before messages were sent over Swift’s platform, and helped the attackers cover their tracks.
